Furnace on while driving
Does anyone know if the power needed to run a propane furnace while you are driving come from the coach power or the generator? The chassis is a F53 on a 1999 Damen Challenger .

Some relatives of ours recently bought a new 5th wheel, and the dealer they bought from informed them that one should NEVER travel with furnace on. Was not 'cause of same ol' tired debate about traveling with propane on, but was more something specific with gas furnaces. Something along the lines of, wind, air blowing around the righ when going down the road will cause the flame in the furnace to continually get blown out, and furnace will wear itself out prematurely if it keeps trying to re-light itself over and over.
Anyone ever heard this, or know if there's any merit to it? IMO its a bunch of bull. This approach would not be much of a problem if you have a towable RV (TT or 5er), but really ridiculous and unrealistic with a MH. I know we have on occasion drove with the furnace on in our Georgetown MH when necessary, and its worked fine.

No different than it cycling ON/OFF in cold weather.

Although they don't come with a XX number of years guarantee they don't come with an expiration date either. "this device can only be turned ON XXX many times".....HA!
Run them until they break then fix and run them some more
